Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's ex-wife Renu Desai has been targeted by fans following her comments about remarriage. In an interview to a Telugu channel, Renu Desai went on the record saying that she felt lonely after divorce and that she might remarry in the future.

Speaking about her broken marriage, Renu Desai said, "Until last year, I was firm on not having a remarriage. But during that period, I was unwell and my health deteriorated, I felt that it would have been good if someone was there to take care of me and my kids. My firm decision of not having a partner softened after this episode. Let's see."

Ever since the video surfaced on the internet, Pawan Kalyan fans have been relentlessly trolling Renu Desai. She even received hate messages from fans, who asked Desai to be "loyal".

Taking it to her Facebook page, Renu Desai slammed the misogynistic men, who spewed venom on social media. The post was translated by The News Minute.

"This post is not about me personally, but when I read such comments, I wonder what sort of society we live in. How we live in the midst of men who have such mindset. I'm worried. On one hand we are talking about gender equality, women empowerment, security from rapes, and on the other hand I just expressed that I've been lonely for seven years now, and it would be good if I had a partner, for which I'm receiving these 'hate messages'. In our society a man can do anything, and can marry any number of times, but it is a sin for a girl to even think about another relationship. Should a woman live alone for lifelong with the regret??? I pray to God today, I sincerely pray to God today that if the future of the girls should be good, women should raise their sons properly. At least then the mindset of men might change?"

Pawan Kalyan married Renu Desai in 2009. Renu was his leading lady in the film Badri (2009) and Johnny (2003). They have two children, Akira (born in 2004) and Aadhya (born in 2010). After Pawan and Renu's marriage ended in 2012, the actor married Anna Lezhneva.
